Seriously, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
MAYBE if no one ever made contact with the native Americans... MAYBE.
But it's not like a continent of people would go unnoticed by the rest of the world until now.
They'd still be exporting fish, lumber, crops... and importing beer.

Possibly, but they were many thousands of years behind the development of the rest of the world (they were still in the stone age when whitey took the land). We've been trying to help develop Africa for decades and that isn't working. It seems like something that can't be forced by outside cultures. So I'm not too confident that Europeans would have ever been able to work with an alternative America.
